Property code: OC-2181

An enticing period cottage, this pretty, three-storey bolthole in Wells-next-the-Sea makes a great seaside retreat for a small family or two couples, including those wishing to bring canine companions. Sleeping four guests, it also welcomes a duo of dogs, and nestles in the vibrant heart of the coastal town. Step straight out to shop for local produce, browse in boutiques and galleries and ponder a while in cafes and restaurants. Amble less than 50 metres down to the quay to watch the boats coming in and out with the tide. The magnificent, sandy beach is about 1 mile away, or you can travel a little further afield to spectacular Holkham Beach too, 3 miles from the cottage.

Take a couple of steps up and open the front door to find yourselves in a lovely lounge/diner, with understated decor and a wealth of cottage character. Put a log in the wood burner during colder weather, then watch the Smart TV or dine together at the table as you bask in the wonderful heat of the fire. Make your way through to the kitchen to prepare meals with the delicious produce you have bought from nearby delicatessens and greengrocers, finding all the equipment you need has been provided here. A handy washing machine for your swimming costumes and towels can be found in an outbuilding. Venture up the steep, winding cottage-style stairs to a king-size bedroom and the family bathroom or head on up to the second floor to discover another king-size bedroom, with zip-and-link beds that can be arranged as 2’ 6” twins if discussed at booking. There is also a family shower room up here.

Take your morning coffee out into the courtyard on fine sunny days or even have breakfast at the table out here. This is where the outbuilding is located with storage and the washing machine.

  • 2 bedrooms – 2 king-size, 1 with zip-and-link beds that can be arranged as 2’ 6” twins if discussed at booking
  • 2 bathrooms – 1 family bathroom with shower over the bath and WC, and 1 family shower room with shower cubicle and WC

  • Shop 20 metres, pub 50 metres, beach 1 mile
  • Please take care on the stairs here as they are steep and winding due to the age of the cottage

Lovely cosy cottage close to all amenities. Plenty of shops and local pubs nearby. But you need to be fit to climb the stairs. Were very steep to bedrooms .

Great cottage in a great location. Well equipped, recently decorated, close to all attractions in the town. Wells is the best place to be based in the area, went everywhere by bus. Parked the whole week for free on The Buttlands.

Wow!! This is one of the best cottages we've ever stayed at, we visit Wells-next-the-sea every year and will 1000% be booking to stay here again. The location is right in the middle of Staithe Street, there is plenty of nearby parking and lots of options for pubs. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated and truly felt like a home away from homeRead more. The welcome package of local produce was absolutely lovely and if you fancy lighting the fire there are logs to use. Hide
